Nov 13, 2023 Agenda Workshop

[00:00:03]

OKAY, JERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I KNOW IT'S DISHEARTENING FOR YOU THAT THIS HAPPENED.

[A. CALL TO ORDER: Establish a quorum]

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FOR CARING FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT BRINGS US TO A CLOSE OF G2.

SO DID YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER THE SOCIAL MEDIA? YOU DID HAVE ONE MORE. YES, YOU DID GO RIGHT AHEAD.

SO I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNICATION IN REGARDS TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA THREAT THAT HAYS C-I-S-D HAD TO DEAL WITH ON OCTOBER

[B. CLOSED SESSION]

WE FOUND THAT DUE TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA THREAT, THERE WAS REALLY A LOT OF ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES WITH PARENTS BEING VERY FEARFUL.

[C. RECONVENE IN OPEN SESSION - immediately following Closed Session]

[D. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO UNITED STATES AND TEXAS FLAGS]

OUR GOAL BOTTOM LINE IS, IS THAT WE WILL BE PREPARING AN INTERNAL CONFIDENTIAL DEBRIEF DOCUMENT.

BUT WITH THAT, WE WILL ALSO BE PUTTING TOGETHER A BEST PRACTICES DOCUMENT THAT WE WILL UTILIZE FOR OUR DISTRICT.

BUT WE WILL ALSO BE COMMUNICATING WITH OUR PUBLIC AS WELL.

SOME TRANSPARENCY IN REGARDS TO THAT ABOUT THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM THAT IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WE ARE REALLY WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH OUR LAW

[E. MISSION STATEMENT]

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND, AND QUITE FRANKLY, IS THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE'RE EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION OUT AS QUICKLY AS

[F. SOCIAL CONTRACT]

WE LIVE IN A VERY INSTANTANEOUS SOCIETY.

WHAT I WILL IMPLORE EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT MR. SAVOY AND HIS COMMUNICATION STAFF WORK VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PUTTING OUT APPROPRIATE AND VERY TIMELY, BUT CORRECT, VERIFIED, VETTED INFORMATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

[N.1. First Reading of the Naming Committee Recommendations for Elementary School 16, Elementary School 17, Hays CISD Central Administration, and Hays CISD Child Nutrition Building]

SO MY PLAN IS, IS TO BRING THAT DOCUMENT BACK TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN SEE.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND WE ARE LEARNING FROM WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE AND BRAG WHEN WE DO WELL.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT, JERRY.

I WILL SAY THAT AS FAR AS THE COMMUNICATION PIECE, THERE WAS A LOT OF KUDOS FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR HOW THINGS WERE COMMUNICATED FROM THE DISTRICT OUT THAT DAY.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS A JOB WELL DONE FOR SURE.

I KNOW IT WAS A CHALLENGING DAY FOR EVERYBODY.

SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING A VERY DEEP DIVE INTO DEBRIEFING WITH THOSE CAMPUSES AND FINDING SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON, BECAUSE WE CAN IMPROVE EVERY TIME WE TAKE A LOOK, WE FIND A LITTLE SOMETHING. SO APPRECIATE THAT.

OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IT FOR G-2 NOW.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

MISS GLORIA. DO WE HAVE ANY SIGNUPS? OKAY TEAM WE'RE GOING THROUGH PUBLIC FORUM.

WE ARE NOW UP TO I, WHICH IS CAMPUS RECOGNITION.

WE GET TO HEAR FROM THE WONDERFUL LEHMAN HIGH SCHOOL AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON THE 28TH.

SO THAT TAKES US TO J.

WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE.

WHY DON'T WE TAKE JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES FOR A BIO BREAK? WE'LL BE BACK HERE AT 8:00, SO THAT'S ABOUT SIX MINUTES.

DOCTOR, WRIGHT, OH, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE BACK.

MISS SEDILLO, WE ARE UP TO OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT REPORT.

TAKE IT AWAY. ALL RIGHT.

BOARD. THERE IS A DOCUMENT IN YOUR FOLDER.

GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT MCMANUS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR.

WRIGHT. SO ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, DURING GOAL SETTING, I SHARED WITH THE BOARD THAT I WAS SUPER EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO OFFER AN INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE AND PROVIDE A QUALITY EDUCATION OR CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A QUALITY EDUCATION TO ALL OUR STUDENTS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE WERE PROVIDING IN OUR SCHOOLS TODAY.

SO IF YOU RECALL, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECALL THIS, BUT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I SAID THIS WOULD BE LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO PROVIDE AN IB PROGRAM AT ELEMENTARY 16 AND 17.

[00:05:01]

SO THIS EVENING I'D LIKE TO SHARE OUR TIMELINE TO OFFER A PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAM AT ELEMENTARY 16 AND 17.

AND SO I WANT TO WALK THROUGH THAT AND JUST SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION WITH YOU.

I KNOW THAT IN BOARD BLOG, I JUST PROVIDED A FEW NOTES.

THERE WERE A FEW LINKS ABOUT WHAT AN IB PYP PROGRAM WOULD INCLUDE, WHAT IT WOULD ENTAIL, AND ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LEARN.

I WILL JUST BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF LEARNING FROM ALL OF US.

EVERY ONE OF US IN OUR IN THIS DISTRICT IS NEW, ESPECIALLY AT THE CNI LEVEL, TO AN IB PROGRAM.

WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT WHO HAVE TAUGHT AT AN IB SCHOOL WHO HAVE ACTUALLY LEARNED THROUGH AN IB PROGRAM.

AND SO I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO LEAN HEAVILY ON OUR IB NETWORK, AND ALSO OUR FRIENDS THAT HAVE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED AN IB PROGRAM.

WE KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT A VISIT SCHEDULED FOR THIS COMING THURSDAY IN ROUND ROCK, WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE HOSTING A PYP EXHIBITION.

SO THAT'S EXCITING.

I'M NOT SURE IF JOEY PHILPOTT'S GOING TO ATTEND ON THURSDAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT A FEW MEETINGS ON THURSDAY, BUT I JUST WANT TO BE OPEN AND HONEST WITH YOU THAT IF YOU COULD JUST SEE MY HEART RIGHT NOW, IT IS BEYOND HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT OFFERING SOMETHING THAT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE EVER OFFERED IN HAYS, CISD AND THEN BRINGING IB, I THINK WILL JUST SET UP OUR STUDENTS TO BE JUST DYNAMIC IN THE YEARS AHEAD. AND KNOWING THAT WE'LL START WITH A PYP MOVE TO AN NYP, WHICH IS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS, AND THEN THE DIPLOMA AS WELL AS THE CAREER PATH.

SO I HAVE A VISION FOR THE NEXT 12 TO 20 YEARS AT A MINIMUM, SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH AN IB PROGRAM.

SO THAT IN ITSELF EXCITES ME SO MUCH.

SO AS WE EMBARK ON THIS, AS I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAN ON OUR FRIENDS.

WHAT IS AN IB EDUCATION? AND SO I'LL SHARE JUST SOME SOME NUGGETS OF INFORMATION THAT I HAVE LEARNED WITH YOU SO THAT HOPEFULLY YOU'LL ASK ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND WE'LL BE POISED TO GET THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS WE EMBARK ON THIS NEW LEARNING.

SO AN IB EDUCATION IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP INQUIRING, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CARING YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WILL HELP TO CREATE A BETTER AND PEACEFUL WORLD.

IT WILL BRING TOGETHER EDUCATORS WHO SHARE THAT ASPIRATION.

AND TODAY, AS A NEW GLOBAL CHALLENGE, OR AS NEW GLOBAL CHALLENGES EMERGE, AN IB EDUCATION IS MORE RELEVANT AND NECESSARY THAN EVER.

THERE IS A FORMAL PROCESS TO BECOMING AN IB SCHOOL AND I HAVE ASKED MISS PHILLPOT, MS. COLLEY AND DR.

WATSON TO RESEARCH AND DO ALL THE LEARNING SO THAT WE COULD BE POISED AND READY TO OPEN ELEMENTARY 16 AS AN IB SCHOOL.

AND SO MISS PHILPOTT WILL ACTUALLY WALK US THROUGH THAT TIMELINE TOWARDS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.

SO. I ALSO WANT TO SHARE THAT IB EXPLORES FOR FOUNDATIONAL AND INTERRELATED ELEMENTS THAT ARE CENTRAL TO AN IB PROGRAM.

IT IS MEANT TO NURTURE INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS TO OFFER A BROAD, BALANCED, CONCEPTUAL AND CONNECTED CURRICULUM. THERE ARE STRUCTURED APPROACHES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING AND MOST IMPORTANT, THE IB LEARNER PROFILE, WHICH INCLUDES A LIST OF ATTRIBUTES THAT WE WANT EVERY IB LEARNER TO EMBODY.

AND SO THOSE ATTRIBUTES OF AN IB LEARNER ARE IMPORTANT TO THE PROGRAM ITSELF AS WE BUILD THIS IB PROGRAM.

AND SO WE'RE WANTING OUR STUDENTS TO BE INQUIRERS TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS FOR INQUIRY AND RESEARCH, TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE, TO DEVELOP AND USE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING, EXPLORING KNOWLEDGE ACROSS A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES.

TO BE THINKERS, TO USE CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS TO ANALYZE AND TAKE RESPONSIBLE ACTION ON COMPLEX PROBLEMS. WE WANT THEM TO BE COMMUNICATORS AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES CONFIDENTLY AND CREATIVELY AND MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE.

[00:10:11]

WE WANT THEM TO BE OPEN MINDED SO THAT THEY CAN CRITICALLY, CRITICALLY APPRECIATE THEIR OWN CULTURE AND PERSONAL HISTORIES, AND AS WELL AS VALUING THE TRADITIONS OF OTHERS.

WE WANT THEM TO BE CARING, TO BE EMPATHETIC, COMPASSIONATE, AND RESPECTFUL.

WE WANT THEM TO BE RISK TAKERS, AND WE WANT THEM TO APPROACH UNCERTAINTY WITH FORETHOUGHT AND DETERMINATION.

WE WANT THEM TO BE BALANCED AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCING DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES.

AND FINALLY, TO BE REFLECTIVE AND TO BE THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER, TO THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER THE WORLD AND THEIR OWN IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES.

SO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE LEARNER PROFILE ATTRIBUTES, AND IB EDUCATION SEEKS TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING, BOTH INDEPENDENTLY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHERS.

SO THE BEAUTY OF THE PYP IS THAT IT DOES NOT PUT LEARNING IN BOXES.

IT LOOKS AT LEARNING AS A WHOLE.

WE WANT OUR LEARNERS TO THINK AND CONNECT THE DIFFERENT BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS THE IDEAS OF KNOWLEDGE.

WE WANT THEM TO CONNECT THEIR OWN LEARNING, THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES WITH THE WORLD, AND HOW THEIR EXPERIENCES CONNECT TO A CENTRAL IDEA OR CONCEPT IN ORDER TO BUILD AN OVERALL LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

TRANSDISCIPLINARY LEARNING IN THE PYP CONVEYS LEARNING THAT HAS RELEVANCE BETWEEN ACROSS AND BEYOND SUBJECTS AND TRANSCENDS BORDERS, CONNECTING TO WHAT IS REAL IN THE WORLD.

PYP STUDENTS LEARN TO APPRECIATE KNOWLEDGE, CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS, SKILLS, AND PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES AS A CONNECTED WHOLE.

THEY CAN REFLECT ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THEIR LEARNING TO TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION IN THEIR COMMUNITY, AND BEYOND.

SO IT'S THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF LEARNING AND THE PYP THAT STUDENTS BECOME COMPETENT LEARNERS, SELF DRIVEN TO HAVE THE COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND SOCIAL TOOLS TO ENGAGE IN LIFELONG LEARNING.

SO THROUGH THE PYP, WE WILL NURTURE INDEPENDENT CRITICAL THINKERS AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNERS, ENCOURAGING EVERY STUDENT TO HAVE A VOICE, CHOICE AND OWNERSHIP IN THEIR OWN LEARNING.

SO THE BENEFIT OF OF OFFERING IB AT BOTH ELEMENTARY 16 AND 17 IS SO THAT IT CAN STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAMS BY WORKING TOGETHER, ALIGNING BEST PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES, AND DEVELOPING CONSISTENCY BETWEEN LEADERS AND EDUCATORS AT EACH OF THE SCHOOLS.

SO, AND IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE WILL NEED TO BEGIN PLANNING IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS.

WE WILL HAVE TO BEGIN PLANNING FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS, EXCUSE ME, AND EVENTUALLY THE DIPLOMA AND THEN CAREER PATH PROGRAMS. SO I WANT TO THANK DOCTOR WATSON, JOY PHILPOTT AND TISH COLLEY FOR GOING OUT AND VISITING CAMPUSES, TALKING TO FOLKS FROM THE IB NETWORK TO PREPARE US TO IMPLEMENT THIS PYP AT ELEMENTARY 16.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS PHILPOTT SO SHE CAN WALK US THROUGH THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE AND WHAT THAT TIMELINE LOOKS LIKE IN ORDER FOR US TO IMPLEMENT THIS PYP.

AND SO MS. PHILPOT.

THANK YOU, MISS SEDILLO. GOOD EVENING.

SO, AS SHE SAID, TISH COLEY AND I REACHED OUT TO THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE ORGANIZATION EARLY THIS YEAR, JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.

WE HAD AN INITIAL ZOOM MEETING WITH AN I'VE REPRESENTATIVE IN MARCH, HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH DR.

WATSON AND DEREK MCDANIEL, AND THEN MET WITH IB EDUCATOR NETWORK REPRESENTATIVES ON ZOOM.

ON APRIL 17TH, TISH AND DEREK AND I WERE ABLE TO VISIT TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ONE IN LEANDER ISD AND ONE IN ROUND ROCK ISD . IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, THEY WERE VERY GRACIOUS AND OPENING THEMSELVES UP TO US IN MAY.

AND AFTER ALL THIS, WE SAID, WE REALLY NEED MS.

[00:15:04]

IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE A LOT OF WORK THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LOT OF SUPPORT.

SO HAD ANOTHER ZOOM MEETING.

WE'VE HAD LOTS OF ZOOM MEETINGS THAT INCLUDED CNI LEADERSHIP ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER THE 10TH.

AND SO HERE WE ARE NOW, NOVEMBER 13TH.

THE DISTRICT HAS POSTED FOR PRINCIPAL FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16.

SO HIRING THAT PERSON LATE FALL, WE WOULD SUBMIT A LETTER OF INTENT TO IB IN JANUARY OF 20.

I'M TALKING FOR 16, FOR 17, JUST ROLL IT OUT A YEAR.

IN JANUARY OF 2024, WE NEED TO IDENTIFY AND HIRE AN IB COORDINATOR FOR THE SCHOOL.

THIS COULD BE THE SCHOOL'S INSTRUCTIONAL COACH, OR IT COULD BE A IB COORDINATOR THAT WOULD WORK BETWEEN THE CAMPUSES.

IN JANUARY, THE PRINCIPAL AND IB COORDINATOR, ALONG WITH SUPPORT FROM CENTRAL, WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR CANDIDACY IN FEBRUARY MARCH OF 24.

THIS APPLICATION TAKES 4 TO 6 WEEKS TO COMPLETE.

THE PRINCIPAL AND IB COORDINATOR FOR THE SCHOOL WOULD ATTEND, LEADING THE LEARNING, WHICH IS A 16 HOUR TRAINING DURING THE SPRING OF 24.

ALSO DURING SPRING OF 24.

HIRE TEACHERS OR GET GET TEACHING STAFF IN PLACE FOR THE CAMPUS AND THEN THE ENTIRE STAFF WOULD BE TRAINED.

SUMMER OF 24 STAFF WOULD BE AFTER THE TRAINING WOULD BEGIN WRITING INQUIRY UNITS IN THE SUMMER OF 2024.

I THINK IN SOMETHING THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO YOU, WE SAID THE TEACHERS ARE STILL THE INSTRUCTION, THE TEACHERS ARE THE WHAT.

IB IS THE HOW.

THE IB IS HOW WE CONNECT THE ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES INTO COHESIVE UNITS.

SO THE TEACHERS WOULD BEGIN WRITING INQUIRY UNITS IN SUMMER OF 24.

THE SCHOOL WOULD OPEN WILL OPEN IN AUGUST OF 2024.

AS QUOTE HAVING APPLIED FOR I'VE CANDIDACY.

IT WON'T BE AN IB SCHOOL YET.

BUT LIKE YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF LIKE PR, WE'VE APPLIED FOR IB CANDIDACY.

THE CANDIDACY YEAR FOR THE SCHOOL WILL BE THIS FIRST YEAR, 2425.

AND THEN IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT AS IT SHOULD, THE SCHOOL WOULD BE AUTHORIZED AS AN IB SCHOOL IN 2025.

LOOKING FORWARD FROM THERE WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 17 ON THE BOARD.

[G. SUPERINTENDENT & SAFETY REPORT]

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE, DR.

WATSON AND I WERE THINKING ABOUT TIMELINES AND LIKE HOW QUICKLY TO ROLL, HAVING A MIDDLE SCHOOL OPEN FOR CANDIDATE OR HAVING CANDIDACY PROCESS START AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN 2829 WOULD MEAN THAT THE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN SECOND GRADE WHEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 16 OPENS, THEY WOULD HAVE THEY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD HAVE THE SEAMLESS IB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH AT 16 WOULDN'T HAVE IT IMMEDIATELY UPON GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE WHOLE THING ANYWAY.

SO. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ON THE TIMELINE.

OKAY, TEAM. MS.. PETREA.

ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND EXCITEMENT.

I ALSO AM HEARING AND FEELING LOTS OF WORK, AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS.

SO I FEEL LIKE, WOULD THIS BE A MAGNET PROGRAM FOR ANYBODY IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE IN THOSE ZONES, MAYBE YOU COULD GO TO THIS SCHOOL? ABSOLUTELY.

IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE OPEN FOR ANY FAMILY STUDENT THAT WOULD WANT TO ATTEND AN IB SCHOOL.

AND SO WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS SO THAT STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS COULD ATTEND ELEMENTARY NUMBER 16 OR 17.

THAT'S HELPFUL. I KNOW SOME OF OUR MAGNET PROGRAMS HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES.

SOME OF THEM LASTED FOR SOME TIME.

BUT I KNOW THAT WE'VE SORT OF SUNSETTED THE DUAL LANGUAGE AND OUR SATURN FIVE STEM PROGRAMS. MY KID, MY SON WENT THROUGH BOTH OF THOSE.

AND SO I'M IT'S VERY BITTERSWEET FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

BUT I DO THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WHERE IT'S AT TWO CAMPUSES AND IT'S BASICALLY THE WHOLE CAMPUS, MAYBE THAT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAGNET PROGRAM.

WE STILL DO HAVE THE MAGNET PROGRAM, FUENTES FOR FINE ARTS, SO THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY.

[00:20:05]

BUT WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES GETTING PEOPLE TO WANT TO TRANSFER TO THOSE OTHER SCHOOLS.

SO YOU ASKED YOU MENTIONED THE PRINCIPAL, DO WE HAVE ON THE JOB POSTING FOR THE PRINCIPAL THAT THIS WILL BE AN IB SCHOOL? AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME IB EXPERIENCE IN YOUR RESUME.

SO I'M NOT REAL SURE IF WE ACTUALLY POSTED IT AND I CAN LOOK IT UP, BUT I JUST HAVEN'T YET.

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT, BUT IF.

MAYBE. PROBABLY HAS NOT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I COMMUNICATED THAT WITH MS. CORSON. YEAH.

UM, NOW, WE WE RECENTLY POSTED FOR THE PRINCIPAL POSITION, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY UPDATE THAT JOB DESCRIPTION SPECIFICALLY.

AND WHAT I WOULD WANT TO DO IS TO REACH OUT TO OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE IB SCHOOLS TO SEE WHAT THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION FOR A PRINCIPAL LOOKS LIKE.

AND JUST TO COMPARE, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS THAT ARE UNIQUE AND ANY EXPERTISE THAT'S REALLY NECESSARY FOR THIS.

AND SO I'LL MAKE SURE TO INCORPORATE THAT.

AND I CAN I COULD EVEN, UM, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE A BOARD BLOG UPDATE AS SOON AS I GET SOME MORE INFORMATION, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

OKAY. BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS IS KIND OF TWOFOLD.

ONE, YOUR CANDIDATES NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE WALKING INTO, THIS IS A LOT.

AND TWO, IF WE CAN RECRUIT SOME CANDIDATES THAT MAYBE ALREADY HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE, WHAT A WIN THAT WOULD BE.

SO OKAY.

SO YES, IF YOU CAN UPDATE THE JOB POSTING THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO THESE OTHER SCHOOLS, DO THEY RECOMMEND DOING STIPENDS FOR CAMPUSES LIKE THIS? IS IT MORE WORK ONCE YOU GET GOING, OR IS IT JUST ABOUT THE SAME? IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY.

I THINK IT'S REALLY MORE ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHY AND REALLY IN THE HOW THEY PLAN FOR LESSONS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME STANDARDS SO THE CURRICULUM DOESN'T CHANGE.

AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WASN'T REAL SURE OF.

SO WHEN WE MET ON THE LAST ZOOM IN OCTOBER, THAT WAS THE QUESTION I HAD.

SO IS IT A DIFFERENT CURRICULUM? AND BASICALLY WHAT THE LADY SAID IS THAT NO, WE USE THE WE USE THE TEKS, THE TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.

IT'S JUST HOW WE TEACH THAT'S DIFFERENT.

AND SO THERE ARE SOME UNITS OF INQUIRY THAT ARE UTILIZED.

AND OF COURSE, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME TRAINING THAT'S GOING TO COME WITH HOW TEACHERS ARE GOING TO PLAN FOR INSTRUCTION.

OKAY. SO REALLY THAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN MY OPINION.

AND AGAIN, STILL LEARNING AND KNOWING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WILL JUST ENHANCE AND AMPLIFY THE EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS THROUGH THIS IB PROGRAM.

OKAY. WELL, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW, THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION HAS BEEN JACKED FOR SOME TIME, AND THERE'S BEEN SOME TERMINOLOGY THAT HAVE BEEN SORT OF HIJACKED BY THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT OF LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING OUR KIDS? SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT, BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT IS FOR PEOPLE TO LIKE, IB IS A NEW CRT, AND THEN WE GOT TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT.

OKAY. SO IT'S THE TEAKS PEOPLE, JUST THE TEAKS THAT'S WHAT WE TEACH AROUND HERE, NOT CRT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED THAT GETS PUSHED INTO PUBLIC EDUCATION.

BUT I'M ALSO HAVING THIS LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S DIFFERENT? WHY DOES EVERYBODY DO IT THAT WAY THEN? IS IT A MONTESSORI SCHOOL? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? SO I FEEL LIKE IF WE COULD VISIT ONE OF THESE SCHOOLS, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.

OR THREE OF US. I KNOW SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

MAYBE WE DO IT IN CHUNKS, BUT THIS FEELS LIKE A REALLY BIG UNDERTAKING FOR OUR DISTRICT.

I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, AND THIS FEELS LIKE AWESOME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I CARE ABOUT ADVANCED ACADEMICS, AND I'M CALLING YOU CONSTANTLY ABOUT WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE ADVANCED ACADEMICS AROUND HERE.

AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE WHAT THIS IS, RIGHT? UM, MAYBE IT'S JUST CRITICAL THINKING.

AND LISTEN, THE WAY KNOWLEDGE IS A COMMODITY, I CAN GOOGLE ANYTHING, PRETTY MUCH.

SO TEACH ME HOW TO THINK AND HOW TO LEARN AND HOW TO BE A CRITICAL THINKER.

THAT IS A FUTURE OF EDUCATION, IN MY OPINION.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, BUT MAYBE I NEED TO SEE IT IN ACTION BEFORE I'M LIKE, OH, GOT IT.

OKAY. AND MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME BECAUSE I'M MORE TACTILE.

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT THIS IS SOME KIND OF POLITICALLY FRAUGHT NEW THING.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? RIGHT.

WELL, YOU CAN GO ON A FIELD TRIP WITH US ON THURSDAY.

UM, CHANDLER OAKS ELEMENTARY IN ROUND ROCK.

OKAY, I MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT, BUT I WILL TALK TO BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO GO ON A COLLEGE VISIT THIS WEEK.

OKAY. BUT WE CAN ALSO MAYBE SCHEDULE ANOTHER TIME.

[00:25:02]

WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO COME ON A FIELD TRIP.

I JUST, I DON'T WANT THIS TO SCARE ANYONE.

IT'S NOT POLITICALLY DRIVEN.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF TEACHING OUR STUDENTS TO BE ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO BE AND COULD BE POTENTIALLY WITH PROVIDING THIS TYPE OF EDUCATION.

OKAY, THAT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW.

I JUST I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF WORK CAN BE DONE IN OUR GT WORLD, OUR ADVANCED ACADEMICS.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE JUST KIND OF DOING SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS AFTER COVID.

WE'VE JUST, YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF HARD, UM, AREAS HIT IN TERMS OF EDUCATION, ADVANCED MATH, ADVANCED SCIENCE, NOT AT ALL CAMPUSES, BUT WE HAVE SOME GAPS IN OUR OWN CURRENT ADVANCED ACADEMICS THAT I WORRY ABOUT, CANDIDLY.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT JUST GOING AFTER A NEW SHINY THING.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T NEW BECAUSE I'VE HEARD MS..

OROSCO TALK ABOUT IT FOR YEARS, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT.

IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE, AND WE'RE NOT PERFECT AT WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING.

SO I JUST I DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE ALL OUR RESOURCES AND BE LIKE, WE HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THIS.

MEANWHILE, AP AND YOU KNOW, GT AND ALL OF THAT GETS SORT OF PUSHED TO THE WAYSIDE.

ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS DO YOU START THIS WITH KINDERGARTEN? YOU KIND OF ALLUDED TO THIS.

SO WHEN YOU OPEN 16 AND 17 IS K THROUGH FIVE BASICALLY DOING THIS, EVEN THOUGH OUR FIFTH GRADERS ARE JUST GOING TO GET A TASTE OF IT AND THEN THEY MOVE ON.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S IT'S AN ENTIRE SCHOOL IMPLEMENTATION.

ALL TEACHERS GET TRAINED AND IT'S K FIVE INITIALLY WHEN.

WE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT THAT, I THOUGHT PERHAPS WE WOULD START WITH THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS AND THEN GRADUALLY ADD ANOTHER CLASS.

AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF THE TRAINING AND MAKING SURE THAT TEACHERS WERE TRAINED UP AND THAT THEY FELT CONFIDENT IN IMPLEMENTING.

UM, BUT IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING I WAS ACTUALLY WRONG.

AND IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ACTUALLY, IT'S WHEN YOU APPLY FOR CANDIDACY, IT'S FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

OKAY. AND SO EVERYONE WOULD GO THROUGH THE TRAINING.

I MEAN, THAT MAKES SENSE.

IT'S JUST YEAH, I'M GLAD YOU CLARIFIED THAT.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION, DO MOST DISTRICTS HAVE JUST SORT OF LIKE 1 OR 2 CAMPUSES THAT DO THIS OR DO THEY OR DO SOME OF YOUR LEANDER AND RANDALL ROUND ROCK HAVE ALL THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE DOING THIS? I DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAVE ALL OF THEIR SCHOOLS DOING THIS.

I THINK IT'S SPECIFIC SCHOOLS THAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED THAT OFFER THE PYP OF THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.

SO, JOY, DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT? I KNOW YOU GUYS.

OH, LOOK AT THAT.

SO I'LL LET YOU TALK.

SO I'LL JUST SAY THAT YOU WERE RIGHT.

I'VE NOT ENCOUNTERED ANY DISTRICT THAT'S GONE FULL ON WITH IT RIGHT NOW.

THERE ARE SOME, THERE ARE A COUPLE, THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN AUSTIN, ONE IN MANOR, A COUPLE IN LEANDER, ONE IN ROUND ROCK, MAYBE TWO IN ROUND ROCK NOW. A COUPLE OF MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN AUSTIN, ONE IN ROUND ROCK AND THEN HIGH SCHOOLS, ONE YEAH, ONE IN AUSTIN.

TWO IN LEANDER, TWO IN ROUND ROCK.

SO IT'S. OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO TO LEARNING MORE.

WE LEARNED A LOT TONIGHT.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A STUDENT ADVISORY BRIEFLY.

SO EXCITING CHANGES FOR OUR DISTRICT.

THANKS FOR PRESENTING.

YOU'RE WELCOME, MR. SEVERANCE. MS. SEDILLO. GOOD MORNING. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD MORNING.

OKAY, SO I WITH MISS PETREA HERE.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.

LIKE RUNNING IN PARALLEL. WE DO A LOT.

WE DID SOME CAMPUS SHOWCASES TODAY AND ALL THAT WE SAW TODAY.

THAT'S A BUNCH OF WORK TO GET TO THE END STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT RIGHT.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER WAY TO GET A BETTER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OR BETTER OUTCOMES.

SO FOR ME, I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME DATA FROM WHERE THIS HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED, WHAT SUCCESS LOOK LIKE AFTER THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED, AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG DRIVER BASED ON WHAT MISS PETREA WAS SAYING, YOU KNOW, ADVANCED ACADEMIC GROWTH IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE'RE DOING, IF IT'S EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOLLOWING THE TEKS, WE'RE NOT DOING IT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY, AND TEACHERS ARE GOING TO BE GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET THE SAME RESULTS BASED ON HOW WE'RE TEACHING IT OR WHATEVER.

SO I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO US.

I THINK IT'S A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT.

WE KEEP OUR MIND OPEN AND FRESH TO NEW IDEAS, AND I JUST LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT.

AND THEN ON THE ACHIEVEMENT REPORT, JUST TO KNOW HOW THE ACADEMICS FARED BEFORE AND AFTER THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

MS.. OROSCO. I AM SUPER EXCITED.

[00:30:05]

WRIGHT FIRST INTERVIEWED AND I HAD MY FIRST MEETING WITH DR.

WRIGHT AS BRAND NEW SUPERINTENDENT, AND WE HAD THREE FAILING SCHOOLS, AND I SAID, OKAY, DR.

WRIGHT, AFTER WE GET OUT OF THESE FAILING SCHOOLS AND YOU BRING US TO THE LIGHT AND YOU FIX EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO IB AND WE NEED TO DO MONTESSORI ASAP.

SO IT HAS BEEN MY DREAM FOREVER.

SO WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT TWO YEARS AGO, I'M LIKE, YES, FINALLY WE'RE THERE.

AND SO DR.

WRIGHT HAD PROMISED BACK THAT AND HE'S LIKE, OKAY, GIVE ME A MINUTE, LET ME FIX THIS.

AND THEN WE CAN START LOOKING AT ENHANCEMENTS, RIGHT? IB HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 55 YEARS.

IT IS VERY WELL ESTABLISHED.

THEY HAVE AMAZING DATA.

AND I KNOW AT OUR CONFERENCES WE'VE HAD SCHOOLS PRESENT ON THE DATA AND WHERE THEY HAVE GONE FROM FAILING AND THEY HAVE SEEN SUCH HUGE GROWTH, RIGHT, LIKE LONGVIEW ISD AND SOME OTHER DISTRICTS OUT THERE.

SO THIS WILL DEFINITELY GIVE OUR STUDENTS A COMPETITIVE EDGE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WANT, RIGHT? WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOW THAT WE ARE UNDER DR.

WRIGHT'S LEADERSHIP FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS, AND KNOWING, THAT OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR DISTRICT IS ON SOLID FOOTING.

RIGHT. THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE THAT COMPETITIVE EDGE, BECOME GLOBAL CITIZENS, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE AT THOSE SCHOOLS, NOT ONLY WHEN HIRING THE PRINCIPAL, BUT THE TEACHERS THAT WE HIRE, THE STAFF THAT WE HIRE, BECAUSE IT IS A PHILOSOPHY AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.

IT IS A PHILOSOPHY.

AND YOU HAVE TO BE ALL IN AND YOU WILL REAP THE BENEFITS OF IT.

AND I'M JUST SUPER SAD THAT RASPBERRY DID NOT GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO AN IB SCHOOL, BECAUSE SHE WAS ITTY BITTY WHEN I FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT, AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES.

I STILL WANT TO VISIT CAMPUSES BECAUSE I JUST LOVE GOING TO VISIT DIFFERENT DISTRICTS TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT YOUR TEAM HAS MOVED ON IT, AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS WITH IT, AND I LOVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN 16 AND 17 SO WE CAN HAVE OPPORTUNITY, AMPLE OPPORTUNITY ACROSS OUR DISTRICT.

AND ALSO I HAVE SEEN IT AS JUST MAGNET SCHOOLS.

IT'S USUALLY A MAGNET SCHOOL.

IT'S NOT LIKE ALL THE DISTRICT IS NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S A LOT OF WORK.

BUT I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME FOR OUR DISTRICT AND I CANNOT WAIT.

PLEASE SEND US SOME DATES OF WHEN WE COULD POSSIBLY ATTEND SOME VISITS.

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

SO AFTER WE DO IB MONTESSORI IS ON THE WAY.

SO DR.

WRIGHT IN YOUR PIN THAT.

OKAY. DR. WRIGHT MONTESSORI AFTER THE SUCCESS WITH IB.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MR. FLORES. THANK YOU, MISS SEDILLO FOR JUST LOOKING FOR JUST NEW WAYS THAT ARE CUTTING EDGE, YOU KNOW, TO IMPROVE EDUCATION IN OUR DISTRICT. AND FROM EVERYTHING TRUSTEE OROSCO SAID.

I'M COMPLETELY EXCITED. I'D LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DATA AVAILABLE.

YOU KNOW, THE CROSS CONTENT, YOU KNOW, JUST JUST ALIGNING DIFFERENT SUBJECT AREAS TO THESE PRINCIPLES BASED ON THIS PHILOSOPHY.

AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO INTO THE PEDAGOGY INVOLVED, BUT REALLY QUICK, COMPARED TO A TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING, WHAT DOES AN IB PROGRAM LOOK LIKE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM? YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET TOO FAR INTO IT, RIGHT? BUT WHAT DOES IT REALLY LOOK LIKE FOR THOSE PARENTS THAT MIGHT BE LISTENING? SO WHAT I'VE LEARNED, AND IT'S NOT A LOT, AND I WANT TO BE JUST COMPLETELY HONEST AND TRANSPARENT, IS THAT IT IS MUCH MORE CROSS-CURRICULAR VERSUS SINGLE SUBJECT TEACHING.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE TRANSDISCIPLINARY COMES IN.

WE'VE OFTEN HEARD INTERDISCIPLINARY, BUT THINK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF CROSS CURRICULAR TEACHING VERSUS JUST SINGLE SUBJECT, WHERE KIDS ARE UTILIZING CENTRAL IDEAS, MORE OF, YOU KNOW, TEACHING THROUGH CONCEPTS AND HAVING STUDENTS MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS.

AND SO AND REALLY, THE PHILOSOPHY IS REALLY ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN JUST TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR OWN LEARNING, BEING REFLECTIVE, OPEN MINDED.

AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE ATTRIBUTES THAT WOULD COME INTO PLAY AS STUDENTS ARE LEARNING.

SO THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE I THINK, AND GOING BACK IS REALLY TEACHERS LEARNING HOW TO TEACH THROUGH THAT CROSS

[00:35:04]

AND SO THAT'S BEEN THAT'S BEEN WHAT I HAVE LEARNED JUST DOING MY OWN RESEARCH AND TALKING TO A FEW PEOPLE.

WE DO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR IN OUR DISTRICT THAT I HAVE ACTUALLY GONE TO AND, AND TALKED TO BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY TAUGHT AT AN IB SCHOOL.

AND WHAT SHE SAID TO ME, AND I BELIEVE I GAVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

SHE SAID, THIS DOESN'T TAKE AWAY ONCE YOU GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.

THIS DOESN'T REPLACE AP CLASSES.

WHAT THIS DOES IS REALLY GIVE THOSE CRITICAL THINKERS, AND WE HAVE THOSE STUDENTS THAT WOULD DO WELL ON AN AP CLASS, BUT BE SOMEWHAT EVEN BORED IF THEY CAN'T REALLY THINK ABOUT WORLD PROBLEMS AND HOW THEIR LEARNING IMPACTS THEM, HOW IT IMPACTS THEIR COMMUNITY AND HOW IT IMPACTS GLOBALLY.

BUT SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, AP KIDS WILL ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE LAB THAT TEACHER GIVES THEM.

AN IB STUDENT WILL ACTUALLY BE CREATING THE LAB.

AND SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S GIVEN MAYBE ANSWERING SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

BUT IT'S REALLY TEACHING IN A MORE CROSS-CURRICULAR TYPE OF WAY.

AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY DISTINGUISHES THE TWO.

WELL, ANYBODY WHO FOLLOWS BLOOM'S TAXONOMY, THAT'S THAT UPPER LEVEL RIGHT.

BUT AGAIN, EVERY KID ZONED TO MY KIDS WOULD GO HERE TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 17.

MY YOUNGEST WOULD START AT THAT NEW SCHOOL.

AND SO HOW MANY KIDS WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM? EVERY KID THAT ATTENDS THIS SCHOOL.

CORRECT. EVERY CHILD THAT ATTENDS ELEMENTARY 16 AND ELEMENTARY 17.

OKAY. AND I DO. AND THIS IS, OF COURSE, AFTER APPLYING FOR CANDIDACY AND THEN BEING ACCEPTED AND APPROVED AND ALL THE TRAINING AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COMES WITH THAT, AND I WANT TO JUST ECHO SOMETHING MS. PETREA POINTED OUT, AND SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, IS WE DO LIVE IN A TIME WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION ABOUT PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND I DO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT DOWN THE ROAD. YOU KNOW, IF WE GET APPROVED FOR THIS, THAT THERE IS COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES ABOUT THE TYPE OF SCHOOL THIS IS GOING TO BE, WHAT TYPE OF EDUCATION IT IS, BECAUSE AND SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

PEOPLE CAN CREATE THEIR OWN NARRATIVES ABOUT WHAT THIS IS.

AND UNFORTUNATELY THOSE ARE SOMETIMES POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

BUT I DO THINK THAT COMMUNICATION DOWN THE ROAD WILL BE NECESSARY TO REALLY AND INCLUDING TO TEACHERS THAT WOULD BE APPLYING AND PRINCIPALS, ETCETERA.

BUT I'M EXCITED.

I LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DATA THAT EXISTS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE WELCOME, MR. RUNKLE. THANK YOU, MRS. SEDILLO AND TEAM MRS. PHILPOTT FOR PRESENTING TONIGHT.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I AM EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR THURSDAY VISIT.

CAN YOU? I MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

OKAY, SO CAN YOU SEND ME THE DETAILS SO I CAN SEE IF I CAN MAKE THAT WORK IN MY SCHEDULE? BUT I WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND IF I CAN.

SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

IF NOT, I DO HAVE IT LISTED ON MY NOTES TO ASK THEM FOR DATES FOR YOU GUYS TO ATTEND IF YOU CAN ATTEND THE ONE ON THURSDAY.

AGAIN, ALL OF THE TRUSTEES HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT I REALLY COULD SAY THAT THEY HAVEN'T SAID.

I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY, BUT I AM INTERESTED TO SEE HOW WE CONTINUE TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AND KIND OF CLOSE IN SOME OF THESE GAPS AND WHAT THIS REALLY LOOKS LIKE.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE A LOT OF WORK.

SO I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE SOME OF THOSE THINGS OUT AS WELL.

BUT THANK YOU GUYS BOTH FOR FOR PRESENTING TONIGHT AND, AND BRINGING SUCH AN AMAZING THING TO THE DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT. WELCOME, MISS PETREA.

TWO FINAL QUESTIONS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE LESSON PLANS ARE CALLED INQUIRY UNITS.

UNITS OF INQUIRY.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND I HEARD THAT THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE WRITTEN OVER THE SUMMER.

BY WHOM? TEACHERS.

DEREK MCDANIEL, KEVIN MALANDRUCCOLO, WHO IS GOING I DON'T KNOW.

WHO ARE WE PUTTING UP FOR TRIBUTE TO WRITE ALL OF THIS? I DON'T THINK THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE WRITTEN OVER THE SUMMER.

THERE ARE SIX THEMES IN THE PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAM.

I PROMISE THIS WILL GET BACK TO YOUR QUESTION.

WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE ARE IN PLACE AND TIME, HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES, HOW THE WORLD WORKS, HOW WE ORGANIZE OURSELVES, AND SHARING THE PLANET.

AND SO WHEN TEACHERS SIT DOWN TO LOOK AT, OKAY, HERE ARE THE TOPICS THAT ARE COVERED IN THIS PERIOD OF TIME THEY'RE GOING TO RELATE TO. OKAY.

WHAT IN THIS TALKS ABOUT WHO WE ARE.

SO THAT'S PERFECT FOR THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL.

LIKE YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WRITE THE I AM POEM, OR WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER ON A NUMBER LINE WHERE WHO IS THIS NUMBER? WHERE ARE WE IN THE WORLD? AND SO IT'S MORE LIKE TAKING THESE BIG IDEAS AND OVERLAYING THEM ON.

SO YES, IT'S ABSOLUTELY GOING TO TAKE SOME SITTING DOWN, AND IT IS MY HOPE, HAVING NEVER BEEN THROUGH THESE TRAININGS, THAT THERE'S TIME IN THE TRAINING TO START THINKING LIKE,

[00:40:08]

HOW DOES IT RELATE TO THIS THEME? HOW CAN WE MAKE THEMATIC CONNECTIONS WITHIN THAT? BUT IT IS THE INTERIOR TEACHERS WILL BE RIGHT BECAUSE TEACHERS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE THINKING BEHIND WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I CAN'T JUST HAND THEM THIS THING AND SAY, HEY, HERE'S THIS THEMATIC UNIT, GO TO TOWN.

BECAUSE IF I THINK THROUGH IT.

THAT DOESN'T. I JUST KNOW THAT WHEN TEACHERS GET HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN A SCHOOL. TEACHERS GET REAL EXCITED.

THEY WANT TO GO OVER THERE.

AND MAYBE THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A WHOLE NEW THING.

YOU DON'T JUST TAKE YOUR LESSONS PLANS FROM YOUR THIRD GRADE CLASS OVER THERE.

IT'S NOT A PORTABLE LESSON PLAN SITUATION.

THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR OTHER CAMPUSES WHERE YOU'VE GOT LEADER AND ME JUST IN THE LESSON PLAN, AND TEACHER HAS TO TOTALLY REWRITE THEIR LESSONS TO INCORPORATE WHATEVER IT IS ON THE CAMPUS. SO THEN WE ALSO LEVEL TWO WEEKS INTO SCHOOL AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT ISSUE.

SO I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO THINK ABOUT ALL OF THIS, BUT I HEARD WE'RE JUST GOING TO RIDE THESE ALL OVER THE SUMMER.

AND THAT SEEMS LIKE NO BIGGIE.

BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.

AND MAYBE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, LEVERAGE OTHER DISTRICTS AND KIND OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE A BIG PIECE THAT WE SHOULD DEFINITELY GET AHEAD OF.

AND THEN MS..

OROSCO SAID SOMETHING THAT TRIGGERED ME THAT SHE SAID, WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.

SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH MORE PER STUDENT WILL WE BE SPENDING AT IB CAMPUSES VERSUS OTHER CAMPUSES? I THINK. DON'T WE HAVE THAT? DON'T WE HAVE THE COST? COST? BUT I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T COMPARE IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMPARE IT TO OTHER.

THERE'S A COST SECTION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAPER THAT YOU GAVE US.

IS THAT COMPLETE? SO THAT'S THE COST OF THE PROGRAM PER CAMPUS THAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR A HIDDEN COST.

OKAY. YEAH. SO THERE'S SOME INITIAL APPLICATION FEES AND CANDIDACY FEES.

OKAY. BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE.

SO THIS IS ALL PART OF JUST BEING EXTREMELY VULNERABLE AS WE LEARN, RIGHT.

AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT WOULD THE COST WOULD BE PER STUDENT.

SO OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE ALL THESE FEES AND BREAK IT DOWN.

AND NO STIPENDS EXPECTED FOR OUR PRINCIPAL, FOR OUR ECC, FOR ANY OF THAT PINKY PROMISE, NO ADDITIONAL STIPENDS FOR OUR STAFF.

AT THIS POINT. I'M NOT ANTICIPATING ANY STIPENDS, I THINK MS..

PHILPOTT SAID SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO CONSIDER, AND THAT IS INSTEAD OF HIRING AN IAC, THAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY HIRE AN IB COORDINATOR SO THAT THE IB COORDINATOR CAN HELP TEACHERS DEVELOP THOSE LESSONS AND ACTUALLY BE THERE.

SO WHEN WE DO POST FOR THAT POSITION, AND THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSS HERE PRETTY QUICK WHEN WE DISCUSS STAFFING, THAT WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER HIRING AN IB COORDINATOR.

AND SO LIKE AT CHANDLER OAKS WE SPOKE TO THE IB COORDINATOR.

AND SO SHE WAS MORE LIKE WHAT WE WOULD CALL AN INSTRUCTIONAL COACH.

AND SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE GOING TO BE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT EMBEDDED SUPPORT ON CAMPUS.

AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY SERVING TEACHERS IN THAT CAPACITY.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW.

BUT THAT WILL BE A QUESTION THAT WE ASK OUR FRIENDS IN ROUND ROCK, AND ALSO OTHER FOLKS THAT WORK IN THE IN OTHER IB SCHOOLS TO SEE WHAT KINDS OF INCENTIVES OR STIPENDS THEY GIVE THEIR FOLKS, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT.

WE'RE STILL EXPLORING.

WE JUST WANTED TO BRING SOMETHING TO YOU AS WE GET READY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD ON THAT I'VE REACHED OUT, SENT AN INQUIRY TO ROUND ROCK, AND I'LL DO THE SAME FOR LEANDER, NOT JUST TO ASK FOR THE PRINCIPAL JOB DESCRIPTION, BUT THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS.

IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIALIZED WE NEED TO KNOW FOR ANY OF THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS? ALSO, WHAT DOES THE STAFFING LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY USING SAME STAFFING RATIOS? IS THERE DIFFERENT KIND OF SUPPORT MODELS? YOU KNOW, ARE THERE SPECIFIC TYPES OF CERTIFICATIONS.

SO JUST REACHING OUT TO GET THAT INITIAL INFORMATION.

AND I'LL BE SHARING THAT AND WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MISS SEDILLO AND SEEING WHAT THE STAFFING COST IS WITH WHATEVER YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND OUT.

AND WE'LL GET THAT TOGETHER AND SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

AND SO THE OTHER THING I'LL ADD TOO, WHEN I WAS IN MANOR ISD, I WANT TO FORGET THOSE DAYS.

BUT WHEN I WAS THERE, I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE DID NOT ADD ANY MORE STAFF.

[00:45:03]

WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL STAFF.

SO THAT IS THE REASON WHY I'M NOT BRINGING THAT TO YOU NOW AS A REQUEST OR SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER.

UM, SO MISS OROSCO WAS.

OH, GOD, YOU MADE ME LAUGH.

YOU MADE ME LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT WITH THAT COMMENT, MISS SEDILLO.

YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT OUT LOUD.

WHEN PEOPLE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IB, THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS A PERFECT PLACE TO HAVE IVY, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT WAY UP NORTH IN LEANDER, ROUND ROCK.

THERE WAS NOTHING IN AUSTIN.

NOTHING. THERE WAS NOTHING IN TO GET INTO AT THAT TIME, SOUTH TEXAS, BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING.

SO IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY AND WE'RE FAST GROWTH.

SO WE ANTICIPATE LOTS OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE ANYWAY.

BUT THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR WAS SENDING THEIR STUDENTS TO IVY SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT'S THAT COMPETITIVE AND IT IS THAT DESIRABLE ON TRANSCRIPTS AND SUCH.

SO THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EVENTS, ACADEMICS AS WELL.

AND THEN AS FAR AS LESSON PLANS, I KNOW THAT YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO VISIT WITH SOME OF THESE TEACHERS, AND SOME OF IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU COME UP WITH AND SO ON. BUT I'M SURE THERE'S COLLABORATION.

JUST LIKE WHEN WE DID TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE, IT WAS NEW IN THE SENSE OF WE HAD OUR TEACHERS, BUT THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING SCRIPTED LIKE SEE SCOPE FOR TWO WAY DUAL LANGUAGE OR ANY CURRICULUM CONTAINER FOR IT.

SO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT VERY WELL AND ARE WRITING GOOD THEMATIC, IF YOU WILL, UNITS.

SO I MEAN, THOSE ARE QUESTIONS DEFINITELY TO ASK AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT, BUT SUPER EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AT THESE OTHER CAMPUSES AND JUST KNOWING WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS FOR US HERE IN OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MISS CITY.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO ADD EXCEPT TO SAY I'VE KNOWN A COUPLE OF FAMILIES IN ROUND ROCK WHO WERE INTENTIONAL ABOUT MOVING TO THAT DISTRICT TO BE A PART OF THE IB PROGRAM, BECAUSE THEY HAD COME FROM ANOTHER STATE WHERE IT WAS OFFERED AND SAW SUCH VALUE THAT THEY CHOSE TO.

I MEAN, THEY REALLY SOUGHT IT OUT.

IT'S WHERE THEY WANTED TO BE.

SO I'M EXCITED TO WHAT IT CAN DO FOR HAYS CISD.

SO THANK YOU FOR EXPLORING THE OPTIONS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, WE'RE UP TO K.

WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS LIKE QUICKSAND.

BUT IT'S BEEN GOOD DISCUSSION.

SO WE ARE ON CONSENT AGENDA.

I'M GOING TO CALL EACH ITEM.

LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON K ONE, MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT. PROCUREMENTS K2 A, EDUPHORIA.

K 2B, WHICH IS SOME ADDITIONAL DELL STORAGE FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.

OKAY, K2C, GPS SERVICES FOR DISTRICT BUSSES AND THE SMALL MOTOR VEHICLE FLEET.

ALL RIGHT. NOW FOR CONTRACTS.

MOU,S K3A IS OUR STANDARD JOINT ELECTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF HAYS.

OKAY, K3B, WHICH IS A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH LOTS OF NAMES THERE.

BUT ESSENTIALLY IT'S THE NEW BLACKBOARD NOW CALLED FINAL SITE.

ANYTHING ON THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

K4, LAST ONE IN CONSENT BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT US WORK A CONSENT AGENDA.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON ACTION ITEMS FOR TONIGHT.

SO, TEAM, IF YOU'LL TURN TO PAGE 45 WITH ME, THAT'LL GET US TO OUR FIRST ACTION FOR THERE'S TWO THINGS WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON TONIGHT.

THE FIRST IS OUR ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AND AUDIT AND THAT WAS POSTED ON BOARD BLOG.

HOPEFULLY YOU HAD A CHANCE TO PERUSE THAT.

IT'S ALSO INCLUDED AS A PRINTED REPORT THAT WAS ON YOUR OR IN YOUR DAIS FOLDER.

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE SUGGESTED MOTION AND WE'LL GO FOR DISCUSSION.

SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE 2022 2023 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AS PRESENTED. MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MR. SEVERANCE. ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING? NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE ON PAGE 46.

THIS IS TO POSSIBLE VOTE TO ELECT DIRECTORS TO THE HAYS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

[00:50:02]

BUT WE HAVE TWO NEW PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE NOMINATED THAT WE TONIGHT ARE GOING TO CAST VOTES FOR.

WE HAVE JUST SO THAT YOU SEE THERE IN THE INFORMATION SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 1475 VOTES THAT WE CAN CAST, AND I WILL SPLIT THOSE BETWEEN THE NOMINEES.

SO THE SUGGESTED MOTION IS THAT THE HAYS CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CAST 738 VOTES FOR MERIDETH SHAW AND 737 VOTES FOR NORA PUENTE FOR THE HAYS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

DIRECTORS MOVED BY MRS. OROSCO, SECONDED BY MS..

PETREA. ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM, THAT CLOSES ACTION ITEMS FOR TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE ARE NOW INTO SECTION M WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSION FOR ACTION ITEMS. NEXT WEEK M1A WILL BE DISCUSSED AND VOTED ON AT THE NEXT MEETING ASSUMING THAT A CANDIDATE IS BROUGHT TO US.

SO THAT BRINGS US TO M2, PAGE 51 TEAM.

THIS IS MS. CORSON, AND THIS IS FOR AN ADDITIONAL CLASS SIZE WAIVER FOR K FOR CAPACITY INCENTIVE.

TELL US ALL ABOUT IT.

MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT DR.

WRIGHT, I AM PLEASED TO SHARE THAT AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THIS BOARD MEETING, WHICH IS WHY I COULD NOT COMMUNICATE THIS TO YOU IN BOARD BLOG, BUT I'M EXCITED TO SHARE THAT.

PARTNERING WITH MISS SEDILLO, SHE WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE CAMPUS AND FIND A SOLUTION THAT WOULD NOT NECESSITATE A CLASS SIZE WAIVER.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO COMING UP ON THE SUGGESTION FROM PREVIOUSLY TO CHECK IN WITH STAFF TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE MIGHT BE INTERESTED, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD NOT BEEN BEFORE.

WE'RE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AN ADDITIONAL STAFF MEMBER WHO IS INTERESTED, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE'RE ABLE TO REASSIGN SOME OF THE EXTRA STUDENTS.

AND SO WHILE WE WILL BE OVER THE 22 ONE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HONOR THAT WITH A K FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PAY FOR THOSE TWO TWO TEACHERS.

AND WE WILL NOT NEED A CLASS SIZE WAIVER.

SO THIS ITEM WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR BOARD ACTION AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

FANTASTIC. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OKAY. PAGE 53 IS THE CIPS CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

THEY WERE POSTED.

WE TYPICALLY HAVE SOME THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS ON THESE.

DOES ANYBODY.

MS.. RUNKLE. IT'S GOING TO BE REAL QUICK, AND THIS IS REALLY NOT DIVING INTO THE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

I'M NOT DOING THAT TONIGHT.

MRS. GLORIA HAS PRINTED THOSE OUT.

I LAST YEAR I SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME ON THEM.

THANK YOU FOR PRINTING THEM OUT.

I WILL SAY THOUGH, ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE ON THESE AND I KNOW THAT NEXT WEEK IS A BREAK.

SO WHEN ARE WE GETTING ANY RESPONSES TO ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE COME BACK FOR THE NOVEMBER 28TH MEETING? DO WE HAVE A TARGET DATE OF RESPONSES TO SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS THIS WEEK? WE'LL TRY TO GET THEM BY THE END OF THE WEEK IF THEY'RE SUBMITTED, YOU KNOW, WITHIN NEXT, NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

OKAY. WELL, I MAKE A COMMITMENT TO ABSOLUTELY LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND SUBMIT ANY QUESTIONS TO GIVE YOU GUYS ENOUGH TIME TO ANSWER THEM BEFORE THE BREAK. SO THANK YOU.

OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE.

WE ARE UP TO M FOUR.

IT IS TIME FOR OUR WEEKLY MAX CLEAVER OR MONTHLY MAX CLEAVER SHOW.

MR. CLEAVER I WOULD SUGGEST YOU JUST MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM AND GET COMFORTABLE.

SIR, I CLEAR MY PAGES HERE.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE ARE GOING TO START OFF WITH FIRST.

I APPRECIATE YOUR GUESTS BEING HERE AND BEING PATIENT WITH US TONIGHT.

I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO HAVE THEM.

SO THAT'S THAT'S GOOD THAT THEY'RE HERE.

LET'S START WITH THE GMP ONE.

SO AGAIN PAGE 55 GMP ONE FOR BOND ELEMENTARY 17.

TELL US ALL ABOUT IT MR. CLEAVER.

YES SIR. SO WE HAVE JASON HERE TO GO THROUGH ANY DRAWINGS THAT YOU WANT.

BUT BASICALLY LIKE MANY OF OUR PROJECTS WE HAVE MULTIPLE GMPS BECAUSE OF THE LONG LEAD ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS.

AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD GMP ONE FROM BARTLETT COCKE.

YOU CAN SEE THAT ON PAGE 57 WITH THEIR LETTER GMP ONE FOR 9.9 MILLION.

THEY ALSO PROVIDED THE BALANCE OF THE ESTIMATE AT THE BALANCE.

SO IT WOULD BE GMP TWO, WHICH WAS 42 MILLION TO BRING THE TOTAL ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT AT D D PLUS GMP ONE TO ABOUT $52,400,000. SO WE ARE STILL WELL WITHIN BUDGET THERE.

[00:55:05]

AND I THINK JASON ACTUALLY HAS SOME [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S A DIFFERENT PLAN.

BUT SO WE'RE HERE.

WE CAN GO THROUGH ANY OF THE DRAWINGS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE OR ANSWER QUESTIONS.

NOTHING BASICALLY HAS CHANGED FROM THE LAST FROM THE LAST DRAWING, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS AT THE PARENT DROP OFF LOOP. OKAY, SO JUST SO THAT IT'S SAID FOR THE RECORD, WOULD YOU SAY WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE GMP ONE? LIKE, WHY ARE WE NEEDING TO DO THIS NOW? WHAT ARE WHAT'S DRIVING THIS? ABSOLUTELY. IT'S FOR THE LONG LEAD ITEMS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HVAC PACKAGE FOR THE BUILDING.

SO IT'S TO ORDER THAT EQUIPMENT AND BUY OUT THAT WHOLE DIVISION FOR MEP, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING.

OKAY, NOT JUST HVAC.

OKAY. FOR THE ENTIRE MECHANICAL, ELECTRIC AND PLUMBING PACKAGE.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. MR. RUNKLE. YES.

TWO QUESTIONS. HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU, JASON? OKAY.

REAL QUICKLY, ON THE AIR PURIFYING UNITS, WAS THAT NOT ORIGINALLY FACTORED IN? THE AIR PURIFYING UNITS, THAT WAS SORT OF CIRCULATING OUT THERE AS A AS AN ALTERNATE.

AND THEN WE INCLUDED THEM AT THIS POINT.

THEY WERE ALWAYS GOING TO BE INCLUDED.

YOU WERE JUST INCLUDING THEM AT THIS POINT, RIGHT? THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE LIST AND WE WERE INCLUDING THEM NOW BECAUSE WE ARE WITHIN BUDGET.

OKAY, OKAY. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS, IS I NOTICED ON HERE THAT HUCKABEE IS CURRENTLY EVALUATING THE ACOUSTICS AT SUNFIELD, WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE DATA ON HOW MUCH, IF ANY OF THIS ALLOWANCE WILL BE NEEDED.

WHEN ARE YOU STARTING THAT EVALUATING PROCESS AND WHEN WILL YOU BE FINISHED? SO WE STARTED IT PROBABLY, I WOULD SAY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT WE HAD A REALLY BIG STEP WAS DONE LAST WEEK WHERE WE TRIED TO NOT TO SOUND LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO GET AROUND CODE. WE TRIED TO SHORT CIRCUIT IT BY THE FACT THAT WE ARE DOING A PROTOTYPE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT'S ALREADY BEEN BUILT ONCE THE WHAT CODE REQUIRES, THE NEW CODE REQUIRES THAT ALL YOUR PREVIOUS SCHOOLS WERE NOT DESIGNED, THAT.

NOW, THIS NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS DESIGNED UNDER OUR NEW CODE.

IS THAT WITHIN THE CLASSROOM, THERE CAN ONLY BE A CERTAIN DECIBEL LEVEL CAUSED BY OUTSIDE NOISE AND ONLY A CERTAIN DECIBEL LEVEL CREATED INSIDE THE CLASSROOM AS WELL.

AND IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT KIDS CAN HEAR WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT TO THEM.

RIGHT. AND SO WHAT WE DID IS, IS WE THOUGHT, WELL, WE'VE ALREADY BUILT THIS BUILDING ONCE ALL THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IS GOING TO BE BASICALLY THE SAME.

SO WE SENT OUR ACOUSTICIAN OUT TO SUNFIELD AND HAD THEM DO TESTING OF DECIBEL LEVELS ON A BUILT VERSION OF THE SCHOOL.

OUR HOPE WAS FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE WOULD COME IN UNDERNEATH.

THE CODE REQUIRED DECIBEL LEVELS, AND FORTUNATELY WE DID NOT.

WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE. WE'RE VERY CLOSE, AND OUR ACOUSTICIAN WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY THINK THE DECIBEL LEVELS REQUIRED BY CODE ARE ACTUALLY MORE STRINGENT THAN THEY SHOULD BE, BUT SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME FORM OF MITIGATION, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE TAKING ALL THE DATA THEY GOT FROM THEIR TESTING THAT THEY DID.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THINGS LIKE PUTTING THE HVAC EQUIPMENT ON DAMPERS, PUTTING IN NOISE ATTENUATORS IN THE DUCTWORK.

WE MAY HAVE TO MAKE SOME OF THE DUCTS BIGGER SO THE AIR MOVES SLOWER SO IT DOESN'T MAKE AS MUCH NOISE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

OKAY. AND SO AT WHICH POINT ARE YOU GOING TO LET US KNOW WHERE WE FALL AT THE END OF THIS? SO OUR ACOUSTICIAN SAID IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE THEM ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF OR SO BEFORE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TELL US EXACTLY WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE.

OKAY, SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT, MAX, WILL YOU PLEASE PROVIDE TO THE BOARD THAT UPDATE? YEAH. AND THAT WILL BECOME A STANDARD FOR YOU GUYS MOVING FORWARD.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS PETREA.

OKAY, SO FOR OUR AUDIENCE AT HOME, GOSH, THIS FEELS LIKE A LONG TIME OUT.

I MEAN.

THIS THING IS GOING TO BE READY FALL 2025.

SO THAT FEELS LIKE A LONG TIME FROM NOW.

ARE WE STILL ON TRACK TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN FEBRUARY 2024? AS AS PER THIS MAP HERE.

THIS TIMELINE CHART? YES, MA'AM. OKAY, WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING OUT THERE AND SEEING THIS THING COME ALIVE.

I WAS DRIVING OUT THERE RECENTLY.

THERE'S NOT MUCH OUT THERE, BUT THERE WAS A BIG ARTICLE IN THE AUSTIN BUSINESS JOURNAL ABOUT THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROPERTY AND WHAT THEY'RE UP TO OVER THERE, AND IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. IT IS.

SO IT'S A GOOD STORY.

YEAH, I OKAY.

THIS IS GREAT. OKAY. AND SO ALSO FOR THE RECORD, HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE WE GOING TO SERVE WITH THIS IB SCHOOL.

900 AND RIGHT AT 900 A FEW OVER 900.

BUT THE 900 ISH.

SO 900 ISH.

OKAY GREAT. THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAD.

IT'S LOOKING GOOD. THANK YOU, MR.

[01:00:02]

I'M JUST CURIOUS. AND OBVIOUSLY I TRY TO FIND A CONCRETE NUMBER.

THIS IS THE SAME DESIGN AS SUNFIELD ELEMENTARY, CORRECT? OR IS IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT? VERY CLOSE.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IT'S IT'S THE SAME AS ELEMENTARY.

16 ON A 16.

IF YOU REMEMBER, WE HAD TO MAKE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS FOR COST SAVING MEASURES.

SO SUNFIELD THE CLASSROOM WINGS ARE ANGLED.

SO WE ACTUALLY STRAIGHTEN THOSE UP.

AND BY DOING THAT THE COLLABORATION SPACES THAT ARE OUTSIDE IN THE CORRIDORS.

NOW THEY'RE JUST REGULAR CORRIDORS, SOME OTHER BACK OF HOUSE STUFF THAT Y'ALL PROBABLY WOULD NEVER SEE IF YOU WALKED THROUGH IT.

BUT YEAH, SO IT'S MINOR TWEAKS BUT VERY CLOSE.

YEAH. AND THE COST OF SUNFIELD ELEMENTARY, THE CONSTRUCTION COST WAS AND YOU CAN YOU HAVE THAT NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? I'M JUST CURIOUS. I CAN CERTAINLY PULL THAT.

I DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT FRESH ON MY MIND, BUT I CAN I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU BECAUSE EVERY NUMBER THAT I FOUND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT MYSELF, IT SEEMS LIKE THE COST OF JUST, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION AND THE COST OF SUPPLIES, IT'S JUST SHOT UP AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, GO UPWARDS, OBVIOUSLY WITH INFLATION AND SO FORTH. BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S ALREADY NEIGHBORS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M ABOUT HALF A MILE FROM THIS LOCATION, YOU KNOW, RAISING A FUSS ABOUT THE INCOMING TRAFFIC, RIGHT, THAT THIS SCHOOL IS GOING TO BRING AND THE DEVELOPMENT.

BUT IN ANY CASE, I'M EXCITED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE DESIGN AND WHAT MISS PETREA POINTED IT OUT, THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY THING OUT THERE REALLY. RIGHT. AND SURROUNDED BY PASTURE AND BUT BUT I LOVE THAT.

I LOVE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT COMPLEX OUT THERE AND BUILDING.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU BUILD THINGS AROUND IT AND BUILD THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.

BUT THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT CLOSES M4.

WE'RE ON M FIVE. THAT'S PAGE 59.

WHOOPS. A LITTLE TOO FAST.

THUMB IN THERE. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE DD FOR 2023.

BOND BID PACKAGE TO FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL.

MR. CLEAVER. YES, SIR.

SO, JASON, Y'ALL HAVE A XEROX COPY, AND JASON'S PROVIDING THE SLICK COPY FOR YOU.

AND WE WILL GO THROUGH THE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED.

BASICALLY, SD, WE REPORTED A CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE OF 49.9.

THE DD ESTIMATE IS AT 49.2.

SO IT HAS GONE DOWN SLIGHTLY.

SO WE ARE STILL WITHIN BUDGET.

AND JASON, IF YOU WILL, HE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES AND POINT OUT SOME OF THE SPECIFICS ON THE PROJECT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL AS USUAL, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SKIP.

DO I HAVE CONTROL OF THIS? I DON'T THINK I DO, I THINK I THINK YOU HAVE CONTROL OF IT THERE.

I DO. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THAT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GET TO SEE EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF OUR IMAGERY.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO SKIP THROUGH ALL THE NARRATIVE STUFF AND GET TO THE SITE PLAN.

IN GENERAL, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED.

WITH A FEW MINOR EXCEPTIONS.

WE'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THE CAMPUS HAS CHANGED UP THEIR BUS PATTERNS A LITTLE BIT, AND SO IT'S NOT DRAWN IN HERE YET BECAUSE IT'S STILL PRETTY, PRETTY FRESH INFORMATION.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD A BUS CANOPY AND A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CONCRETE OVER HERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO BRETT SAID THAT THAT WOULD HELP OUT HIS TRAFFIC PATTERNS PRETTY EXTENSIVELY.

WHEN IT COMES TO BUS TRAFFIC ON THE CAMPUS, WE ARE GOING TO DRAW THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ADDED LATE.

WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AS AN ALTERNATE TO THE PROJECT, SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE AFFORDED.

THEN WE'LL ADD IT TO THE PROJECT AFTER MID DAY.

WE'RE ALSO WE'RE SHOWING ON THE NEXT PAGE.

THIS IS A SITE LOGISTICS PLAN.

SO CORE CONSTRUCTION HAS PUT THIS TOGETHER TO SHOW WHAT THE SITE'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE DURING CONSTRUCTION, WE WERE MADE AWARE BY MAX THAT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE, WHICH IS A LUXURY THAT NOT MANY SITES HAVE.

SO Y'ALL ARE REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE THAT.

THAT'S GOING TO HELP A LOT WITH HAVING A MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE SITE.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THE MAIN STORAGE AREA FOR THE CONTRACTOR.

THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY FENCE OFF THE AREA WHERE CONSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF LAY DOWN SPACE THERE AS WELL FOR MATERIALS THAT ARE ABOUT TO GO UP.

THEN THEY ARE TAKING THIS CHUNK OF PARKING BACK HERE.

SO WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOME ANALYSIS WITH THE EXISTING PARKING.

HOW MANY PARKING SPACES ARE USED CURRENTLY AND HOW MANY ARE NOT USED ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND THEN VERSUS HOW MANY ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY.

SO RIGHT NOW WE BELIEVE THAT WE DON'T NEED TO ADD ANY PARKING IN ORDER TO TAKE AWAY THAT PARKING LOT.

BUT IF WE DO AND WE'RE STILL TALKING THIS THROUGH WITH BRETT, BUT IF WE DO, THE PLAN WILL BE TO BUILD A TEMPORARY LOT RIGHT IN THAT AREA RIGHT THERE.

IF THEY DON'T NEED THE PARKING, THEN THAT PARKING LOT WOULD NOT BE BUILT.

AND THEN THEY HAVE SOME GENERAL TRAFFIC PATTERNS FOR TRUCKS AND STUFF ARE GOING TO GO.

[01:05:02]

AND I WAS LIKE, ARE WE DOING ANOTHER CTE EDITION THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF? SO THAT IS GREAT.

AND WHAT A LUXURY.

AND LOOK HOW MUCH MORE ROOM JOHNSON COULD BUILD.

SO PARKING IS A PROBLEM OVER AT JOHNSON.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS EXAMINED OR EVALUATED.

BUT IT'S IT'S NOT DURING THE DAY.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM JASON, WHERE JOHNSON IS WHERE WE HOST, I DON'T KNOW, EVERY VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT, BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, PLAYOFF TOURNAMENTS.

AND SO THAT TINY PARKING LOT WHERE ALL THE SENIOR SPACES ARE PAINTED..

RIGHT.. IS WHERE, LIKE, EVERYONE WANTS TO PARK AND IT'S A WHOLE THING.

AND SO THEY CAN PARK IN THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL OR OVER THERE, THEY JUST DON'T LIKE TO.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG FIGHT ABOUT OPENING THE BAND PARKING LOT, WHICH IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR EVERY TIME SOMEBODY PARKS ON IT.

SO THEY DON'T LIKE TO DO THAT.

SO KNOW THAT THAT MIGHT COME UP.

I DO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT AS MANY PEOPLE PARK BEHIND WHERE YOU'RE SAYING, UNLESS THEY'RE GOING TO THE STADIUM OR FOOTBALL OR SOMETHING, BUT I MEAN, THE AUTO TECH IS BACK THERE, SO I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL COORDINATED WITH THEM.

IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IS STILL IS KIND OF CARVED OUT WHERE THE..

YEAH, THAT'S GOING TO STAY OPEN BACK THERE.

OKAY. PERFECT.

SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE IF WE GET COMPLAINTS.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH PARKING FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF WHEN WE HAVE BIG EVENTS.

AND PARENTS ARE ALL COMING AND IT'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT CRAZY.

SO IN THE FUTURE, LIKE THE FUTURE, WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE HOW WE MIGHT NEED TO ADD PARKING, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, MY SOLUTION WOULD BE JUST TAKE THE WHOLE BUILDING AND SLIDE IT OVER THIS DIRECTION.

TAKE A LOT OF THIS PARKING. NOBODY WANTS TO PARK IN AND PUT IT OVER THERE.

PERFECT, I LOVE IT.

YEAH. JUST HINDSIGHT.

HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS TROUBLESOME SOMETIMES.

BUT YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WE DID? JASON, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T DESIGN THE SCHOOL, SO I CAN TELL YOU THIS.

SEE WHERE OUR STADIUM IS OVER THERE? YES. WHEN? THE FAR RIGHT HAND CORNER.

GUESS WHERE OUR LOCKER ROOMS ARE? THERE, NEXT TO THE BAND PARKING LOT RIGHT OVER THERE.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY WE HAVE THIS PROPOSED.

ANYWAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE.

THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THIS PROPOSED FOR A FUTURE BOND.

YES. THANK YOU.

WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THAT. PERFECT.

OKAY. AND THEN I THINK THAT WAS I JUST HAD A PROBLEM OR QUESTIONS ABOUT PARKING AND THEN.

AND SO THE PURPLE SPACE IS JUST LIKE CONSTRUCTION.

SPACE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUNKED UP WITH PILES OF CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE NOT TRASH.

IT WILL BE. THERE WILL BE COMPONENTS.

AND IT'S ALWAYS INCUMBENT GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

IT'S MATERIALS. YEAH. MAYBE LIKE ONE OF THOSE CONTAINERS LIKE THOSE BIG METAL, MAYBE AN OFFICE.

SOMETIMES THEY HAVE LIKE A THEY HAVE TO SO THAT'LL BE CLOSER TO THE BUILDING SO THEY CAN KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.

GOT IT. OKAY I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS LOOKS GOOD.

MS. RUNKLE. YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK.

I'M THE PARKING, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING PARKING SPACES.

THAT ENTIRE PARKING LOT IS ALWAYS FULL.

I DON'T KNOW, I MEAN, I ATTEND GAMES OUT THERE.

I'M AT JOHNSON QUITE OFTEN, THAT ENTIRE BACK PARKING LOT IS FILLED.

ALL OF THE PARKING LOTS ARE USUALLY FILLED.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE LARGEST CAMPUS AT JOHNSON AND EVERYBODY HAS TO DO EVERYTHING THERE BECAUSE IT IS THE LARGEST CAMPUS, THAT BRINGS MORE PEOPLE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW WHERE YOU GUYS LAND ON THIS PARKING ISSUE, BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO NOT HAVE PARKING SPOTS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS FULL.

YEAH. I'LL ASK NATE.

MAYBE WE CAN GET A DRONE FLIGHT DURING A GAME AND DO A CAR COUNT.

WELL, FOOTBALL IS NOW OVER, SO YOU'RE DOING OKAY RIGHT NOW.

BUT I MEAN, IT'S I MEAN.

YEAH. GO BACK AND LOOK AT VIDEOS.

I'M SURE JARED CAN PULL SOME VIDEOS.

THAT'S A CONCERN TO ME AS THE PARKING.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT NOBODY WANTS TO PARK IN THAT OTHER PARKING LOT, BECAUSE I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE PARKING IN THAT PARKING LOT EITHER.

AND WHEN WE HAVE EVENTS GOING ON, THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY PARKS.

SO ANYWAYS, I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THOUGH, ON THE BUILDINGS WHERE I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE DRAWINGS.

UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO JUST WAIT TILL WE GET TO THAT PAGE.

UM, I STILL SEE LOTS OF GLASS.

SO COURTNEY, HANG ON, LET'S DO JUST THE SITE RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN. THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO THE SIDE.

THAT'S FINE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE ON SITE, MR. SEVERANCE? JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO THE MATH ON THE PARKING LOT, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT IF THEY ACTUALLY NEED THE PARKING SPOT.

[01:10:05]

WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PROJECTS GOING ON WHERE IT SAYS SHOT PARKWAY.

IS THAT THE NAME OF THE ROAD? I DON'T KNOW, THAT WAS THE NAME OF THE ROAD.

WOW. OKAY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BUT I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND THAT ANY FILL THAT WE NEED FOR THE DISTRICT, FOR THE REMAINING FEW PROJECTS THAT WE START CARVING OUT THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT SHOT PARKWAY, THAT MOUNTAIN OF HILL JUST STARTS TAKING DIRT OFF THE SIDE, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE A PERFECT PLACE TO JUST PUT PARKING ALONG THAT WHOLE ROAD IF WE NEED IT DOWN THE ROAD.

JUST SAYING. IF WE NEED DIRT, JUST START TAKING THAT HILL AWAY, BECAUSE EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE GOING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT SHOT.

PARKWAY FOR SOMETHING AT THE SCHOOL.

JUST THOUGHT I'D THROW THOSE $0.02 IN THERE FOR PHIL APPROPRIATE DIRT DOWN THE ROAD.

MAYBE WE CAN START DOING THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. SO LOOKING AT THE PLANS AND THE FLOOR PLAN ARRANGEMENTS, THINGS REALLY HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH.

WE DID ADD ONE THING THAT WE HADN'T SHOWN TO DATE THAT I HAD BEEN TRYING TO DESCRIBE, NOT VERY EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT DOING A DRAWING, WHICH IS HOW KIDS ARE GOING TO GET OUT TO THE MAIN BUILDING COMING OUT THIS END OF THE BUILDING.

SO WE HAVE THIS SET OF DOORS HERE, THIS THIS IS A FENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS YOUR EXISTING CTE WALL, WHICH IS THAT IT'S ON AN ANGLE RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THAT OFF WITH A FENCE AND A GATE.

SO PER JERRY'S REQUIREMENTS THAT ANY PLACE THAT KIDS HANG OUT IN THE COURTYARD, THEY HAVE TO BE FENCED IN.

SO KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO COME OUT THROUGH THESE DOORS.

THEY'LL BE UNDERNEATH A CANOPY HERE.

AND THEN AT SOME POINT THEY'LL TRANSITION TO BEING UNDERNEATH THE WALKWAY.

THAT'S THE SECOND STORY ABOVE.

SO THEY'LL HAVE A COVERED CONNECTION OVER TO THE EXISTING ENTRY POINT.

BUT THIS WHOLE AREA WILL BE ENCLOSED IN SCREENED.

ADDITIONAL TO THAT, THIS OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE THAT IS AGAIN UNDERNEATH THE SECOND FLOOR.

THIS IS YOUR EXTERIOR WALL RIGHT HERE.

SO THIS WILL ALL OUTSIDE.

WE'VE ADDED A FENCE AND SOME GATES.

AND SO THIS CAN ACTUALLY BE A SPACE THAT STUDENTS CAN OCCUPY SAFELY, YOU KNOW, DURING BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL.

SO THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY PLAN CHANGES THAT I CAN THINK OF ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

SECOND FLOOR HAS NOT CHANGED.

I MEAN, WE DID ADD ONE LITTLE PIECE OF WALL RIGHT HERE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE THERE WAS ONE LITTLE SPOT THE CAMERAS COULDN'T CATCH IN OUR MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH MR. TIMMONS AND EVERYBODY ABOUT CAMERA COVERAGE.

SO BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, EVERYTHING HAS REALLY STAYED THE SAME.

I KNOW A THIRD FLOOR AS WELL.

COSMETOLOGY HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU SAW IT.

NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED HERE AS WELL.

I THINK WE HAD THE SIX BASKETBALL COURT SHOWN LAST TIME.

NOW IT'S SHOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARLY THAT WE DO HAVE SIX BASKETBALL GOALS, ALTHOUGH THE STRIPING WILL ONLY BE FOR THE ONE MAIN COURT.

WE WILL NOT HAVE THE STRIPING FOR THE THE CROSS COURTS EXCEPT FOR VOLLEYBALL.

THE ISOMETRICS. I WILL SAY THAT WE DID A SESSION WHERE WE SAT DOWN.

THIS IS FOR BOTH JOHNSTON AND LEHMAN AND MCCORKLE 17.

ACTUALLY, WE KIND OF DID IT ALL AT ONCE.

IT'S VERY EFFICIENT WHERE WE SAT DOWN WITH A WHOLE HOST OF YOUR STAKEHOLDERS AND BROKE UP BY DIVISIONS.

SO WE HAD OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS TALKING ABOUT SITE.

WE HAD ME TALKING ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE.

WE HAD MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, MEETING WITH YOUR MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING FOLKS, YOUR TECHNOLOGY TEAM, MEETING WITH YOUR TECHNOLOGY FOLKS.

AND THEY JUST POURED THROUGH THE DRAWINGS.

AND IT WAS REALLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO LET US EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT WE'RE INTENDING WITH THE DESIGN, AND THEN TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND TELL US THAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING. SO A REALLY EFFICIENT WAY FOR US TO GET SOME REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THEM.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING ALL THAT STUFF INCORPORATED AS WELL.

A LOT OF THAT STUFF IS BACK OF HOUSE STUFF.

WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT ROOFS, ROOF DETAILS, YOU KNOW, SO MOST PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO SEE IT.

BUT IT WAS STILL VERY GOOD THINGS FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE BUILDING.

WE ALSO HAVE HAD A MEETING WITH JERRY TO GO THROUGH TALKING ABOUT WINDOWS.

AND SO WE'VE TALKED THROUGH BOTH LEHMAN AND JOHNSON GOING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE WINDOW, EVERY SINGLE EXTERIOR WINDOW, FIRST FLOOR WINDOW THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.

THERE WAS A MANDATE THAT ALL SILLS OF ANY WINDOWS ARE NO LOWER THAN FOUR FEET, WITH A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS.

BUT YOU'LL SEE, EVEN ON THE THE CORNER GLASS OF THE AUDITORIUM, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ADDED A LITTLE FOUR FOOT BAND.

SO THAT MET JERRY'S APPROVAL.

AND SO BUT THERE WERE SOME WINDOWS THAT GOT SMALLER.

THERE WERE SOME WINDOWS THAT WENT AWAY, SOME WINDOWS THAT MOVED.

SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WINDOW ADJUSTMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN ORDER TO MEET, YOU KNOW, JERRY'S REQUESTS.

SO. AND THEN INTERIOR FINISHES.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING A MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, TWO IN PERSON AT EACH CAMPUS TO GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL SAMPLES OF ALL THE MATERIALS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

[01:15:09]

SO MOSTLY THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE US PROVING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE MATCHING EXISTING.

AND THEN FROM A PERSPECTIVE STANDPOINT, NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED ON THESE.

YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE SHADOW.

BUT WE DID ADD THE FENCE HERE TO SHOW HOW THAT'S BEING CLOSED OFF.

YOU CAN KIND OF SORT OF SEE IT HERE AS WELL.

ON THIS ONE YOU CAN SEE THE FENCE THAT WE ADDED.

WE'RE KIND OF DEBATING HOW THAT FENCE IS GOING TO LOOK.

WE HAVE SOME IDEAS ON.

SO IT COULD BE SOMETHING DECORATIVE, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY DO LIKE PUNCHED METAL THAT YOU COULD LIKE BE LIKE A JAGUAR HEAD PATTERN IN IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE'RE KIND OF HAVING A LITTLE FUN WITH WHAT THAT COULD BE.

SO THAT'S STILL STILL TO BE DETERMINED ON EXACTLY HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK.

BUT WE DID ADD SOME NEW RENDERINGS THIS TIME AROUND.

SO THIS IS WHAT THAT COURTYARD SPACE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO YOU SEE THE EXISTING BUILDING ON THE RIGHT.

NEW ON THE LEFT.

IN FRONT YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE GRASS AREA FOR THE VET TECH GROUP.

BUT REALLY THIS IS JUST AN OUTDOOR SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO GATHER ART STUDENTS TO COME OUT AND WORK ON PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, FLORAL AND VET TECH TO COME OUT AS WELL.

SO IT SHOULD BE A REALLY NICE MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE.

THIS IS THE MULTI-PURPOSE INDOOR SPACE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE A BASIC GYM, BUT WITH A STRONG BENT TOWARDS FINE ARTS AND THEIR NEEDS.

AND THEN THIS IS WHAT THE BAND HALL LOOKS LIKE.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INTERIORS AND FINISHES AND THAT KIND OF STUFF ON WEDNESDAY.

SO STILL SOMETHING TO COME ON THAT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BALCONY THAT'S UP THERE WITH THE SECOND FLOOR SPACE THAT HAS ALL THE PRACTICES UP THERE, REALLY GOOD VISIBILITY UP THERE FOR THE TEACHER TO BE ABLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS, MAKE SURE THAT NO SHENANIGANS ARE GOING ON.

SO. AND THAT'S THE END OF THE UPDATE.
